Vibe Coding vs. Context-Aware Coding: Why Your AI Keeps Forgetting Your Codebase

Your AI forgets your codebase every 5 minutes.

You spend more time explaining context than writing code. Copy-paste your architecture. Paste your design system. Repeat your database schema. The AI generates code. Then forgets everything.

This is vibe coding. And developers waste 3+ hours daily doing it.

Context-aware coding solves this:

• Your AI knows your entire codebase before generating a single line • No more duplicate code that ignores existing utilities • No more styling that clashes with your design system • No more authentication logic that bypasses your user service • Real-time updates when you add or refactor files

The difference? An orchestrator that indexes your repository and maintains conversation memory across your entire project.

  indexes your repository
is it possible to know at high level how do you generate that index?, from this:

  • Your AI knows your entire codebase before generating a single line 
  
  • No more duplicate code that ignores existing utilities 

  • No more styling that clashes with your design system 

  • No more authentication logic that bypasses your user service 

  • Real-time updates when you add or refactor files
looks like ast-grep + hyde to enrich the meaning of each node (could have different enrichment strategy per node type)
